Green Glow

------------------- Based on My Own True Story ------------------- [Spoken Dialogue - Male #1, calm, slightly muffled through phone] [Radio voice] Tom? [Spoken Dialogue - Male #2, sleepy, quiet, close microphone] ...Yeah? [Spoken Dialogue - Male #1, calm, slightly muffled through phone] [Radio voice] Your shift. You ready? [Spoken Dialogue - Male #2, sleepy, quiet, close microphone] ...Now? [Spoken Dialogue - Male #1, calm, slightly muffled through phone] [Radio voice] Yeah. Ten minutes. Wait outside. [Verse 1] Clock OUT. Locked UP. No LUCK. No SLEEP. Black SHIRT. Cold AIR. Empty STREET. No SOUND. Phone BUZZ. No PAUSE. "Tom?" "Yeah." Ten LEFT. Stand OUT. Playing it cool. Bushes move. Eyes front. Don't blink. Silence... Bass. Not a gun. ──────────────────────── [Pre-Chorus] Didn't see the car. Heard the bass first. (Pause) Green glow. No plates. Black glass. 808. Ribs crack. (Window rolls down) [Deep Voice] You Tom? [Me] Yeah. [Deep Voice] Get in. ──────────────────────── [Chorus] Green glow... Head low... Heard the bass first... Let's go... Green glow... Head low... Heard the bass first... GO! ──────────────────────── [Verse 2] Door SLAM. Jammed IN. Gold CHAINS. Cold GRINS. Dead NIGHT. No ROOM. Feels like... His lap. Nobody laughs. Nobody talks. Bass gets louder. Trunk SHAKES. Metal BENDS. Windows SHAKE. Speed UP. Lights BLUR. Nothing else. Just bass. ──────────────────────── [Bridge] Radio on. Chris Parker. WELCOME TO MARS. Hebrew prayer. Full volume. Windows shaking. (Pause) Thought— If we crash... At least... The timing's right. ──────────────────────── [Final Chorus] Green glow... Head low... Heard the bass first... Let's go... Green glow... Head low... Heard the bass first... GO! ──────────────────────── [Outro] (SFX: Pshhh...) Energy drink. Cold can. Eyes open. Shift starts. (Silence)
